^{1 Kings 14:5 [1]} There is an insertion in the Septuagint, found in the Vatican manuscript after 1KG 12:24, in which Jeroboam's wife is identified as Ano, the older sister of Tahpenes the wife of King Shishak of Egypt. When Jeroboam fled to Egypt to escape death at the hands of King Solomon, he went to King Shishak of Egypt and remained with him until the death of Solomon. Jeroboam asked permission of King Shishak to return to his own land, and the king told him, "Ask of me a request, and I will give it to you." In reply, Jeroboam apparently asked for Ano.
